Today "Wednesday the city OF Toledo
iS full OF people. A goodly delegation
came in from Mansfield with Senator Sh"r-
man. yesterday afternoon, and another oIE
crowd. with four bands came in this morn
ing. and large delegations have been com
ing in during the day, from all directions.
Those who have engaged accommodations
in advance. will. a. a matter nt COURSE, be
taken care of ia good style, but those who
drop in tomorrow. the great decisive day,
should take cots and lunchenns with them.
aS they can only be assured "t all abHnd-

Senator Sherman's friends are present Ia
iarse numbers and are not al all rrtl"rni
The veteran statesman brought with hun
quite a good sized and symmetrical boom,
when he arrived, but there Is a
good sprinkling OF enthusiastic Blaine
men. There is still. however. greater
multitude who are the faithful and hearty
friends ot both.
We take from a special Ia the ohio STATE
JoHIuni. sent Tuesday night, the following
about the candidates:
Foraker for governor. Spear and Dick
man for supreme Judges, John c. Brown
Tor state treasurer. and Charles A. Flick
niger for member of the board of public
works, will undoubted be nominated with
out opposition There has been some talk
of Leo Welt for the last named place, but
il is without his consent. and he will not
have his name presented.
For lieutenant governor Captain W. {.
LYONS, of Licking. SilaS A. Conrad, of
Stark, L. j. pringle. of Clark, and Andrew
Roy. of Jackson. are here with hosts of
friends working for the place, and Captain
LYONS seems To be in the lead. There l..
however. a call on all hands for General
Asa ). Bushnell. and he may be drafted.
Bushnell is. however. pronounced for Pm
gle. of his county, and does not want 1t.
The service, of Conrad as president of the
senate and pTingle a member OF that
body in ousting the four Hamilton county
frauds are used strongly in their favor.
I.yons's excellent record aS soldier Is cited.
and il i said this is year for soldiers;
while Andrew Roy i urged both as n sol
dieT and the friend OF w0Ikingmen.
General Bushnell was 81 prominent
dgure. personally and politically. that he
.'ould hardly be expected TO escape the Ill
teiviewer. On being asked by state
Journal man whether he would he can
didatt for lirutent governor. he said
Nu: we ~ for Tom Pringle, and | am
not q candidate. and hope my name will
not 90 before the convention. A. ! could
not accept il il il is offered. | AM always
willing 10 do what | can for the party. and
will do Just as much il | am not on the
ticket As | always have done. | want no
reward for service II | could accept
place on the ticket nothing would please
me more than to run second TO the gallant
Governor Foraker. but l can't do II this
wear don't want anything. though |
appreciate at its full value the
complimentary mention OF my
name in connection with ticket
which | am sure will he elected by
an overwhelming majority. on the Sher-
man resolution should say that il il comes
before the convention il should be adopted
by unanimous voice and put 10 rout the
democratic intimations that there is any
trouble among the republicans over the in
dOrsement. II can do no harm 10 Mr.. Blaine
or his friends and can be- of no consequence
to any one except il should be- Sherman.
and he will know best whether II will aid
or iniure him in his canvass.
Tuesday evenings Toledo Blade has
protest against the indorse-
ment of Sherman. Ii is given entire. a.
follows:
IL is time 10 call halt on this foolish
ness Machine politics have no place in the
republican party in Ohio. One thing al
time and that well done, is safe rule. IN
either business or politics. The task the re-
publicans of Ohio have 10 perform this year
is 10 elect their governor and majority Of
the next general assembly. Next year
comes the presidential light To inject
that campaign iut0 this years contest Is 10
weaken the republican party. imperil its
now excellent chances Of success and Z"
ruin Mr.. Sherman's chances for solid del
egafion Ia the national convention. With
the republicans of the state divided III
opinion a. 10 the presidential nomination.
the effort of the senator's managers 10
force an Endorsement AT the Toledo comven-
ton simply resolves itself into the
of a machine. The represen-
tatives of Ohio republicanism are To be- con-
PEELED to indorse him. with the idea in view
that the voters will follow their lead like
flock of sheep. We rise To remark thSttfe
man in political life who attempts 10 coerce
the people will come 10 grief sooner or
later. Only he who stands closest 10 the
hearts of the masses has backing that will
endure. We regret the policy that has been
adopted by Mr.. Shernan's managers and
iepIore the foolishneSs which attempts Ia
force perfunctory Endorsement from con
Vention which has no business with the
sSue. The resolution should not De Offered
in the convention.
Still. the resolution of endorsement will
De introduced. and it will be adopted by a
arge If not unanimous vote.
